Join us as we follow the journey of coffee from seed to cup. From the farmers in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico following ancestral knowledge to protect the fragile biodiversity of their homes in El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, to the grocery aisles in the US. Come see, hear, and taste the gifts from Café Mam and Equal Exchange producer partners of 30+ years.
Megan Bassett, currently serving as the Community Liaison at Café Mam Coffee, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the coffee industry. Megan’s studies in Latin American history and Politics, along with her years of experience working with migrant families in Oregon’s education sector, provide a unique and engaging lens through which to view the history of coffee. Her insights span from its colonial origins to the pivotal role of the cooperative movement and the emergence of SPP Global as a champion for small-scale farmers in the global fair trade arena.
